    Is anyone able to explain the significance of the A-List compared to the B-List and C-List?

    I imagine that the A-List tracks are the most regularly played and have noticed that some C-List tracks have moved to the B-List since last week. How is this determined?

    When will I hear C-List tracks? During the day, evening or weekends?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jason – Good question!

    A-list tracks are our top songs which receive most play.
    B-list tracks are our 2nd tier.
    C-list tracks are specialist tracks – we sometimes drop them in throughout the day, but they tend to be more evening records. You can hear them on Ben Jones’ show – weekdays 8pm-midnight.
    When we move a track up – the amount of plays it will get on a higher list won’t normally be reflected on the playcount until the following week.

    Hope that explains it!

    It would be interesting to see the playcounts each week!

    I think you should rank listeners this way too:

    A list- listens to nearly every programme every day of the week, VIP, emails regularly (maybe too often)

    B list- only listens during work, VIP, emails sporadically

    C list- listens to select programmes only, VIP, emails just those programmes

    Z list- doesn’t listen at all, posts critical comments on the blog, staff wishes he/she would get hit by a bus

    There’s probably a wide difference between C and Z.

    How about using last.fm like Radios 1 and 2 do?
    Is a great way of reaching more savvy audiences and sharing your love of music.
